Scott Frost is going to coach his undefeated UCF group in the game. Guess Scarbinsky will get to fire off 764 articles about how Gus is gonna get served in Atlanta.

I'm certain of only two things in this game. Auburn hasn't seen an offense as multiple and dynamic as UCF's. And UCF hasn't seen a defense and deep, fierce, strong, fast, and mean as Auburn's. I also know our HC has a pucker factor of 4011 in games sometimes and I don't know if CarryOnMyWaywardRBson is going to be healthy enough to matter. (Oh, he'll play but if it's like the SECCG, not good.)

Pettway Out for Peach Schnapps
Auburn football will still be without running back Kamryn Pettway for its 2017 season finale in the Peach Bowl against UCF.
Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said Wednesday morning Pettway, who missed the Tigers’ last five games of the season with a fractured bone in his shoulder. The 2016 SEC rushing champion will finish the season with 305 yards and 6 touchdowns on 76 carries.
Pettway is eligible to go to the NFL after this season as a redshirt junior. Malzahn said he has talked with Pettway about his future with the team, but a final decision will come later.
“I’ll get with him, and we’ll cross that bridge at the appropriate time,†Malzahn said. “We’ve talked a few times and we’ll talk more. I’m not ready to say right now… I’ll be able [to say if Pettway will return] after I talk to him, we’ll see.â€

Kam: Coach, did you happen to catch the professional football contest on television last night?
Gus: No, I didn't.
Kam: Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big "H". It was a most ripping victory.
Gus: Son, I'm only going to tell you this one time.
Kam: Yes?
Gus: If you want to keep playing here, stay off the drugs.
Kam: Yes.

Devan Barrett
Asa Martin (True freshman, IF he signs)

It's going to take all of the imagination Lindzahn can muster to keep up with UCF. Have a bad feeling about this one.
Our lack of size and playing time at running back and our secondary which appeared to desintegrate in response to our anemic run game led to the return beatdown v. UGA.
We lose this game by at least two scores.
I'm all kumbaya with you guys on the Malzahn learns his play calling lesson but part B of that for me is still lack of developed depth (with size to move the chains) and quite frankly no plan B to answer that need.
This is going to be one of those games piggy backing the SECCG where Stidham will be the convenient fall guy due to over half of our production being on the shelf and/or innefective- dragging the life out of our offense.
In short, no plan B = we are fucked.
If we can't move the chains and consistently harass their QB our secondary will wilt.

I added a name to your RB list
Asa Martin is 6' 195lbs...he'll add weight before next season. Also, Auburn is looking at 3* Wetumpka RB Kavosiey Smoke (5'11" 215lbs) in case both KJ and Pettway jump to the NFL.

Heard of this guy. An absolute hoss. Don't know if he can spell Cavoissier (sp) but one of the Auburn coaches might trip over him while he's stretching in a couple of years and ask him if he's ever ran a football...sort of how I imagined Pettway shedding the blocking back tag.
Dont get me wrong I love Chandler should have 40 more totes Cox it's just they consider him along the lines of a tight end. We can't allow fullbacks to run or tight ends to catch, no sir, it's not Auburn.

Gotta' admit, that'll be one of the coolest names in college football. You can get buzzed off the first and last names. What's your name, son? LaHairoween Blow.

Just watched a ton of highlights on Mr. Smoke. This kid is beast mode city. The thing I like most is that Wetumpka plays big boy football. The competition he's running over, around and through is stout. They only lost by 1 point in the regular season to Opelika, and then in the state finals to Pinson Valley. Whoever signs this guy is getting the steal of the century.

They will use the UGA game plan from the SECCG. Except we will have our running game back! I'm not sure that would have even worked for uga with a healthy KJ!

We showed weaknesses on defense gradually as our offense failed against UGA in the SECCG but nothing glaring. We got burned deep a couple of times at corner then Davis>Matthews came out of the game but we weren't getting any pass rush at all when that happened.
I don't think UCF has the type of backs that can consistently put demands on a secondary in run help.
IMO if we stonewall the run UCF has to throw it 50+ times, mostly under duress.
I admit I'm not very confident after seeing UGA's defense beat our offensive line with a lame K.J. which made us one dimensional. Not telling you anything you don't already know though.
We should win just maybe not so convincingly. They carry a chip and are unbeaten and we had to mend with a bad taste all while some of our key guys are kicking around career decisions.

Call me a sore loser but I want Oklahoma to utterly destroy Georgia.
Don't care for the Sooner's at all but I've seen far too much build-up from this Dawgnation whatever and the unstoppable recruiting that is Kirby Smart's staff to make me want to hurl.
We know Oklahoma not having a defense is problematic but if it can be overcome please let it happen in the harshest of broken hearted ways to fucking Georgia.

Everyone says that but it's just not true.
The game was 10-7 at half time with Auburn making several mistakes and playing a shitty first half.
In the second half, KJ was ineffective. We had a starting LB out, and most importantly, a stud corner out. Auburn had to play zone in secondary which allowed more running lanes. And the game wasn't even over until KJ fumbled.
Plus, Auburn just played Alabama the week before and UGA had this game pegged for 3 weeks. It really wasn't the meltdown, or the formula to beat Auburn, that everyone assumes.
-
There is no “root for the SEC†left in me. Not since 2010. There is one team. The other 140+ can all go play in a fire. Hope they all lose.

I only view us from the LSU game on in a collective sense where we run the ball and stop the run enabling the rest to function as it did up until the SECCG.
Stidham and our pass game operate very efficiently when we run it well and we generally have as many as two errors in the secondary when we stop the run effectively.
When we are able to do both we are all but unbeatable, even with subpar special teams play.
We can all imagine what could have been and I've kicked the idea around about Gus having both backs healthy but I still think he rides one until he's lame before turning to the other.
And I think that's why we are in the Peach Bowl.
We lost Sean White and eventually Kamryn Pettway where I think their behavior was a symptom of being upstaged by a healthier, stronger minded team mate. It's work keeping egos happy and giving them a sense of purpose. It's far easier to just cast them aside.
That's the last remaining issue I have with Malzahn's "transition" as Head Coach. The meddling part is innate and I just have to learn to accept it.

We also won't be physically and emotionally spent going into this game like we were that one.
-

Correct. But UCF(and everyone else) seems to think uga had some sort of winning game plan. It was more a result of not having the healthy running game we usually have. So if UCF wants to use that game plan, good luck to them! I am still extremely disappointed in KP.

It certainly looks like Gus calling plays.
I realize Stidham didn’t have a good game but they were daring us all game and it’s like we refuse to Vary from plan to run 99%.
Sickens me that we had better players all over the field and it didn’t look like it. We played uninspired but I can see why.
-
Concentration/energy problems all over the field. That's on the coaches.
Two picks (one for six) and a fumble were the difference in this game. That's on Stidham. Holding the ball too long...that's on Stidham.
Apparently a month off is too long. He needs to play 60 minute scrimmages each week of August in preparation for opening day.
Edited to add: special teams is a fucking liability.
-

Yes. Gus should take some of his 7M and use it to hire a fucking special teams coach.

What a joke Malzahn is. What a bigger joke our administration is. Can't blame Jay for this one, can we? In typical fashion that goes back a couple of decades, a little success causes the powers that be to splooge all over their collective fat asses and come crawling to the current flavor of the day with the keys to the city....and the BMW.
Think about it. A FOUR LOSS season is now a success story for Gus Malzahn. We now have a HC who has guided us to seasons with 5-6-5 and 4 losses respectively and he's rewarded with a 7 year extension and $50 million. Instead of writing the man a fat check and saying "Well done" for beating two # 1's, we mortgage our future on a guy with ZERO track record. Oh wait, other than a track record of being the most schizophrenic coach in America.
Oh wait again, but let's not be too hasty. Who could we get that's better? Are you fucking kidding me? You'd be harder pressed to find guys that could fuck this up worse. This was another team LOADED with talent at every position. Let's skip over almost losing to Mercer.
Clemson: We score 6 whole points because his entire game plan was run an injured Kam Pettway into the middle of the line 40 times and have 90% of your pass plays be slow developing plays designed to throw it 30 yards downfield...against arguably the best D in the nation. LOSS!
LSU: Start out like a house on fire and instead of driving the dagger in their heart, Gus takes over and calls 16 straight running plays up the middle on 1st down. Even the commentators were making fun of him. LOSS!
Georgia X2: Stubbornly run an injured RB, who shouldn't have been in the game, over and over. More importantly, face a team that you ROYALLY pissed off a couple of weeks earlier by acting like an 8th grader and proclaiming for all to hear that you just beat the crap out of them. BTW Gus, those same scumbag Dawgs will now be playing for the MNC. LOSS!
UCF: Oh who cares? Clearly brought another team into Atlanta that was not only grossly unprepared, but had no fire or motivation to play a mid-major foe. One that beat your ass with a 190 pound LB whose favorite band is Def Leppard. Embarrassing LOSS!
But...it's too late now. Another under-achieving coach has Auburn by the balls. A concept I know all to well.

Every bit of this.
And with the exception of Steele in control of the defense this upcoming season has all of the feel of post NC with Cam bailing and having to rebuild an entire offensive line. So there's that to look forward to. Built-in excuse.

Turned it off after the 1st Qtr, so much more stuff to do than watch Gus fucking stumble around with his head up his ass. The few times they showed Steele it looked like he didn't give a fuck either. It gets worst watching UGA-Okie knowing we could never be that good on any kind of consistent basis.

^^^^^^^^
Found the ignore button for Xmas, so I can't hear you.
-
I can tell you this, outside of maybe one quarter, UCF wanted this game much more than Auburn. I mean, what the hell happen to the OL? Hardly any blocking. Did KJ even play? Why did Stidham coward into a shell on the last drive? No crossing route inside the 30? Why in the hell did Steele not run some sort LB blitz packages in the 2nd half? They let a puny little Flutie lookalike run all over the damn place.
So many questions and no answers. But hey, at least we get to watch the two teams (rivals) AU beat play each other in the NCG!

Welp, I guess we're a basketball school now.

I'm hanging up my AU-ness. Spent most of my life wearing my allegiance proudly. Car tag, window stickers. I've bought enough Auburn stuff to fill a NBA player's closet in my lifetime.
Enough.
Part of it is the Saban/Bama factor. I'm so sick of them that it drains every ounce of fun out of the season. And now UGA is just as bad.
Even when we beat them both -- and do it convincingly -- it doesn't matter. It's like it never happened. It meant nothing.
I just don't care any more. I haven't been wholly invested in years now. I don't like the constant feeling of helplessness/hopelessness that seems to be part of the natural state. It weighs on me. It wears on me. Being an Auburn fan has always been a part of my identity. I'm tired now. Tired of hearing shit from Bama fans and Georgia fans and whatever.
I hate Nick Saban. He's as much responsible for this depression as anything. It would be easier to take if they weren't so protected
It's just not fun any more. None of it is. I never thought I'd say that.
-
I put out blood sweat and tears on the practice field there! I have a degree from there. I will never be Not invested!
Bama can eternally bite my ass! I will be an Auburn Tiger for life!

I left my
blood, sweat and tears on the volleyball court at the old Barn at Auburn and have my degree from there. So hell no, I'm not going to back off AU.
Srsly, I'm never going to support them any less and I'm never not going to go to games. Now, I'll bitch and gripe. Don't think I'm gonna' stop doing that. I'm old and crotchety. Is that a word? If it is, I think it means I'm gonna' bitch and gripe.
Now, get the hell off my lawn.

After the Tigers' 34-27 loss to the Knights, who capped an undefeated on Monday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, outgoing senior safety Tray Matthews admitted it was "definitely very difficult" to get motivated for the game after everything Auburn had on the line just a month ago.
"If you want the honest answer, I'm not going to be here next year so I mean, it's definitely very hard," Matthews said in the locker room after the game. "It's very hard to get motivated for a game like this, especially if you go out how we went out, you know? We lost in the SEC Championship and it broke our hearts. We had to think about that the whole time."
"I mean, bowl games are great; this is a big bowl game and we had a tremendous time and the people have been great, but you're not playing for a championship anymore," Matthews said. "That's when it comes down to what's inside you, playing for the team and what's on the back of your jersey and what's on your helmet, the AU, but it's kind of hard. You got a lot of distractions and you're not playing for a championship. It's a difference. It's definitely a difference."

Gotta respect him for being honest. Losing the SECCG in today's world is basically like being knocked out of the playoffs...except you still have to play one more meaningless game!

I'm hanging up my AU-ness. Spent most of my life wearing my allegiance proudly. Car tag, window stickers. I've bought enough Auburn stuff to fill a NBA player's closet in my lifetime.
Enough.
Part of it is the Saban/Bama factor. I'm so sick of them that it drains every ounce of fun out of the season. And now UGA is just as bad.
Even when we beat them both -- and do it convincingly -- it doesn't matter. It's like it never happened. It meant nothing.
I just don't care any more. I haven't been wholly invested in years now. I don't like the constant feeling of helplessness/hopelessness that seems to be part of the natural state. It weighs on me. It wears on me. Being an Auburn fan has always been a part of my identity. I'm tired now. Tired of hearing shit from Bama fans and Georgia fans and whatever.
I hate Nick Saban. He's as much responsible for this depression as anything. It would be easier to take if they weren't so protected
It's just not fun any more. None of it is. I never thought I'd say that.
I gave up caring AS MUCH several years ago. Right after 2010 really. All the Cam bashing nearly ended it for me that season, but we won it all. 2013 was fun for the time it took Davis to run back the kick 6, then one pass play from FSUs felon QB and...nothing...like, as you said, it never happened.
Yet...every...single....year...bammer is there...always in the conversation even when they shouldn't be...when they're having a shitty year, they're winning 11. Us, we're up then we're a dumpster fire.... firing Chiz embarrassingly soon after an NC, then Gus is hot but soon on the verge of wrecking the Gus Bus...he gets great potential QB recruits that fall flat....then Gus does juuuuuuuuuuuuuust enough to temp us...and then this. I watch football for the football schemes now. Football is fun to watch...Auburn football is a labor of love only. Love watching smaller conference games that have 1000yds of offense and 100pts. I go to one game in Auburn a year just to tailgate with friends, but don't really care near as much as I once did. This season is a stark reminder why.

No. Not at all.
I've done this for more than 50 years. I wore my AU stuff through Shug's last hurrah. Through the Barfield years. Through "keep it down home, cuz." Through the Bowden implosion. Through Jetgate. Through Cheesy Jay and the Jumbotron. Through Tommy's ignominious departure. Through Shacket and the 0-8ers.
When AU wore Russell, I bought Russell gear. When we switched to UA, so did I. I've got at least a dozen AU hats in my closet now. At least as many polos. Eight sweatshirts. You could clothe a small Caribbean nation with the AU gear I've bought over the years. My office walls and desk are covered in AU paintings, pictures, ticket stubs, bobble heads, footballs, baseballs, bats and other assorted gear. My truck has an AU tag on the back, an AU tag on the front, a window sticker and silver logos under the F150 on the front. My golf bag is an AU bag. My putter has an AU grip. My wedges have AU shafts.
Too much.
All I'm saying is that all my life I've been Kaos, Auburn fan. I'm gonna just be Kaos for a while.

I've never really been "All Auburn All Orange And Blue", I have a metal AU decal on the back of my car. That's about as far as I go. I have gone into the Jasper Wal-Marks with a Auburn shirt just to see the mouth breather meth heads get all irritated (that's always good for a laugh).
